contest and second prize in the county speaking contest at Towanda. The Junior-Senior banquet was considered the big event of the year. The Juniors spent a lot of time in order to give the Seniors a good time and 1 guess we enjoyed it as much as the Seniors. At the end of the year we got a prize for having the highest number of perfect half days’ attendance during the year: so we were well paid for getting up so early every morning. In all, we had a very peaceful and prosperous year with Richard president of the class and also president of the high school. Suddenly we were Seniors. There always was something magic about that word. I suppose it’s just being a Senior. The class showed its usual good sense by electing Richard president. The other officers are Elizabeth Loveland, vice-president; Bessie Hartford, secretary; Mildred McCauley, treasurer. The class gave a Thanksgiving dance and also a (. hristmas dance. That Christmas dance was the largest and the best one we ever had. In order to make more money for the class we sold candy at various times during the year. We found that that was the best way to raise money, especially since we were fortunate in having Ervin Torpey in our class, and how would the class have managed without Adrian and Dick : Adrian is invaluable in the print shop, printing our Athenians and with Dick as business manager The Athenian is bound to succeed. 1 he rest of our time in high school was spent in studying and practicing for the operetta and the Senior play. Thus ends the “short and simple annals” of the class of ’2 . 1 he four years we have spent here have been all too short as we look back on them. Here’s hoping that the years in the future will he just as eventful and as successful. • Mildred McCauley, ’27 AN ATTEMPT Why! I can’t write a poem !
